Yeah, they did.  The difference is that they explicitly stated that you've been "time-warped" back to before the Battle Of Denerim.  ME2 has some of the crew acknowledge you completed the mission (if they're alive, that is), those final chats  with the squaddies about the base (after which they revert to their final pre-SM dialogue), and a news story about the Omega-4 relay being used recently.  Everything else just behaves like it's still the middle of the game.

Where do you hear the news story?  You gotta interact with the galactic newsnet thing to hear it?  I haven't done that yet - Just went straight to taking down the Shadow Broker.

My reaction:

WOAAAAAH!

(Grunt is mean!) :crying:

Anyways I'd like to see the arrival of some official news, like a release date. I already spend too much time guessing what's going to happen to next. I have to admit if this is the arrival of the Reapers that right there makes it a pretty big DLC, damn near a must-buy I'd say. I kind of hope that's not exactly the case, since that would make the start of ME3 kind of weird IMO. Still survive 5 wave of enemies sounds an awful lot like certain zombie games I know of. Me thinks Husks are coming. Time to break out the boom-stick and teach Bob the Husk and his friends some manners!

Wait... oh my gawd they're all Scions!

:pinched:






scions are a whole horse of another color. if the reapers reeeeeeeeally wanted to get **** done they'd just send a bunch of scions to Shep location.

Where do you even get that now?  I got ME via Steam and I am pretty sure it didn't come with pinnacle station.

Yeah.  It might be in rotation on Ilium or Omega.   A few of the Galactic News stories are, but most aren't.

It seems unlikely that an event as momentous as the Reaper's arrival would be appropriate for DLC. Speculating seems rather useless, but its more fun than studying for midterms.



Arrival could refer to any number of things. The arrival of truth, war, the beginning of the end, etc. Truth is a possibility that seems interesting and feasible. Bioware has been heavily hinting that there is much more going on behind the scenes than we are privy to with Commander Shepard. The secrets of the Greybox, LotSB, comics, etc have all alluded to a connection between the Alliance, Cerberus, TIM, Shanxi artifact, and the Reapers.



Identifying possible enemies based on information we have available provides for the development of interesting theories.



We are very likely dealing with sentient antagonists (i.e. not Husks). These antagonist can assault in waves with in game mechanics, lend themselves to either a stealth mission or something of a similar nature, and can possibly be holding the doctor captive.



The primary reason I believe the antagonist will be sentient is that the events surrounding Object Roe specifically refer to a battle. The Battle for Object Roe, imho, lends itself to a large scale conflict that involves more than just mindless zombies.



Object Roe has to be something that can be fought for on foot. We are after all surviving five waves of enemies as we try to secure this objective. That precludes the Mass Relay some have suggested, unless you are on a ship... but why would there be boarding actions when we are destroying a Mass Relay.



The device the Turians brought to Shanxi appears to be the likely candidate. I believe it was mentioned in ME1 or somewhere else that the Reapers had indoctrinated thousands to act as sleeper agents. When they arrived, these agents put plans into action to further weaken resistance.



What if the Turian Hierarchy has been indoctrinated at a level higher than Saren. They wanted to use the device to indoctrinate human leadership, not realizing Shanxi was merely a colony. When they realized that Jack/TIM had apparently had greater interaction with the device than they originally presumed... well that could cause some serious problems, as the device acted more like a Prothean beacon than an indoctrination device. It would explain the assassination plot the Shadow Broker had for TIM (I don't remember this myself, I read it recently but I don't remember where... so I could be mistaken.)



What if your fighting elements of the Turian Hierarchy to.... never mind this is getting outrageous.



Its the Batarians... bunch of GOOUDAMMED TERRORIST!

 Idk if anyone else has already come up with this but this DLC really sounds like you're not gonna be playing as Shepard; you're going to be in another character's shoes, perhaps even the VS.  Maybe the VS or whoever you play as is sent to rescue the scientist and everything and you ultimately confront the first wave of the Reaper invasion, and the ultimate sacrifice is that character inevitably dying to preserve the scientist's safety and/or delay the advance of the Reapers.  

"Ultimate Sacrifice"  "Last Stand".....

Seems like the "survive all 5 waves" thing could be a final Halo Reach-mission thing (and similar to that Starcraft 2 Protoss mission), you survive as many waves as you can knowing you're going to die.  If you survive the 5 they built into the DLC, probably get swung into a cutscene where who you're playing as finally succumbs to the enemy.  

Some might be dissatisfied with not playing as Shepard, but just using the few context clues available, I think this has the potential to be epic.

I actually never thought of that, but that sounds like the most logical thing, nice idea! B)

That would be AWESOME. Playing as Ash or Kaidan and right at the end, sending warning to Commander Shepard. Mannnnn, you getting me more excited, bro. Stop :o

All of Emily Wong's news story lines come to conclusion only after the "suicide mission". Some people never heard them.

Cool.  I'll check it out.  Right after LOTSB I started another playthrough.  And my latest (and second time) playing through and doing LOTSB, i didn't even check the archives... and then started another playthrough (on a different character)

I'm sure someone has thought of this already, but it's worth noting that "Object Rho" may be related to the Argos Rho cluster, a star cluster in ME1 (not ME2). However, further investigation of the planets in the Argos Rho cluster reveals nothing signficant. A famous krogan warlord died on one planet, a giant asteroid hit another in the past century, one planet has a large system of natural caves, one system is extremely inhospitable due to its star blasting the planets with radiation...no hint of a connection to the Reapers or anything special.

They will probably add in something to make the cluster relevant once the DLC actually is released... we are just going to have to wait (impatiently).
